I thought I’d play along with the sketch challenge on the Elite Stampers website. This is my creation:
I have to say this is my favourite colour combo at the moment… chocolate chip, pumpkin pie and rose red. Stamps used were baroque motifs and wonderful favourites. I had some of the square chocolate chip envelopes left over from the carousel notes pack, and needed to make a wedding card for a workmate which is big enough for all of us to sign. And hence this little beauty was born. Being a wedding card, I wanted to add a bit of bling, so I’ve clear embossed the swirly image. I also stamped and clear embossed the flower image onto rose red cardstock, and punched out with the scallop punch. I then layered this onto a pumpkin pie die-cut flower that I paper-pierced around the edges. I secured the two together with a fancy lil silver brad from the hodgepodge hardware. It’s hard to see in the photo, but the brad has a flower image on it, with a flat part in the centre, so I blinged it up with a few drops of crystal effects and sprinkled dazzling diamonds over it while it was still wet. I adhered the flower to the card with a stampin dimensional to pop it up a bit. Add some ribbon, the sentiment and the scallop edge and voila! I love this card. I think it’s very pretty, even if I do say so myself. Please tell me what you think…
